Middlesbrough Amateur Swimming Club

• Voluntary role - Treasurer

  • Mar 2016 - Present

  Responsible for all bookkeeping, banking, credit control and payroll, this role keeps me on my toes as regards the day to day running of a business. While I also prepare a monthly committee report and ensure that the club runs within its budget, it is an interesting contrast to the advisory work I do in my day job. It has given me the opportunity to fine tune some of my processing skills which I have been able to pass on to staff and clients.

• Voluntary role - Swim coach and Official

  • Jun 2014 - Present

  Swimming is my passion, but accountancy pays the bills! When I'm not at work I'm at a swimming pool:I hold my Swimming Teachers Certificate and Level 1 Coaching Certificate and have just completed the NRASTC (National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches) so everyone should be in safe hands when I volunteer on poolside - currently just an hour or two a week.I also hold the Judge 2 Officials qualification, which means that when the kids are competing at galas, I get to wear white and be on poolside making sure that there are no rule infringements. It also has the benefit of an uninterrupted view of the racing. Show less
